This module provides functions to encode and decode strings into and from the base64 encoding specified in RFC 2045 - I. The base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be represented per printable character. The following functions are provided: =over 4 =item encode_base64($str) =item encode_base64($str, $eol); Encode data by calling the encode_base64() function. The first argument is the string to encode. The second argument is the line-ending sequence to use. It is optional and defaults to "\n". The returned encoded string is broken into lines of no more than 76 characters each and it will end with $eol unless it is empty. Pass an empty string as second argument if you do not want the encoded string to be broken into lines. =item decode_base64($str) Decode a base64 string by calling the decode_base64() function. This function takes a single argument which is the string to decode and returns the decoded data. Any character not part of the 65-character base64 subset is silently ignored. Characters occurring after a '=' padding character are never decoded. =back =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 1995-1999, 2001-2004 Gisle Aas.
